Thoughts like autumn leaves

[Intro] [Sentimental instrumental] [Bass male vocal] [Emotional] [Verse 1] In fields of gold, where childhood dreams took flight I ran with joy, embraced the warm sunlight Those carefree days, now faded memories Of laughter, love, and endless possibilities [Chorus] Time slips away, like sand through my hands Moments once clear, now hazy as quicksand I try to hold on, but they're fading fast These precious fragments of my past (Oh, of my past) [Sentimental interlude] [Verse 2] First kiss, first love, the day I said "I do" Our little house, painted sky... blue? Three children grew, their names... I should recall! But shadows creep, and memories... they fall [Pre-Chorus] Wait, what was I...? Oh yes, I remember now Or do I? It's all so... somehow... [Chorus] Time slips away, like sand through my hands Moments once clear, now hazy as quicksand I try to hold on, but they're fading fast These precious fragments of my past (Oh, of my past) [Bridge] Faces blur, voices echo, where am I? Was it spring or... fall? I can't... Why? Words escape me, thoughts... they drift and sway Like autumn leaves, they're blown away [Sentimental interlude] [Verse 3] I had a job, I think... Did I retire? Something about... a fire? Or was it... higher? My wife, she... No, that's not... Oh dear I'm losing... What? It was just... here... [Final Chorus] Time slips... away, like... through my hands Mo-ments once... hazy as... sand? I try to... but they're... fast These... frag-ments... my... (Oh... my...) [Outro] (Hum-mm-mm...) Wha... Where? I can't... (Na-na-na...) Help... me... please... [Vocalizations fading into unintelligible sounds] [Sentimental instrumental fading out] [Fading out] [End] [End]
